When patients get sick or injured, they often turn to the internet for answers.
And most of the time (some data suggests 70% of cases) they make the wrong decision about how or where to seek treatment. Those mistakes result in a cascade of costs and frustrations for patients and providers alike

Mediktor’s use of AI to triage these patients is fascinating!

This is a really nice example of using direct to consumer chat bot conversation to monitor, manage, and engage patients at scale. It’s potentially a more proactive way to stay engaged with patients at home throughout a full care cycle. Definitely a platform worth checking out for future product ideas:

Well written analysis on the changing landscape of computing due to the rise of services that live in chatbots and voice computing. Not healthcare specific, but definitely gets the wheels spinning on potential health applications :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s not hard to see how in a world of On Demand User Interfaces, Conversational Interfaces become extremely relevant. But chatbots are only the first wave of conversational interfaces. The second is Voice, and I see a third as Mixed Reality.
